See United States v. Pervis, 937 F.3d 546, 553-54 (5th Cir. 2019). He nevertheless seeks to preserve the issue for further review and has filed an unopposed motion for summary disposition. Because summary disposition is appropriate, see Groendyke Transp., Inc. v. Davis, 406 F.2d 1158, 1162 (5th Cir. 1969), Narvaez-Gomez’s motion is GRANTED, and the district court’s judgment is AFFIRMED.
